U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Richard Bates, the noncommissioned officer in charge of the Laughlin Honor Guard, 47th Flying Training Wing, passes a folded flag to Shane Quinn, the exalted ruler of the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks (BPOE), as retired Chief Master Sgt. Nel Voss, the chaplain of the BPOE, salutes at a Flag Day ceremony at the BPOE lodge in Del Rio, Texas, June 14, 2014. The BPOE began the tradition of honoring the U.S. flag in a ceremony June 14, 1907, and later convinced President Woodrow Wilson to issue a proclamation in 1916 officially naming June 14 as Flag Day.
